That's a Whole Bunch of Geeses

I thought that the ducks and geese and swans were all smart enough to get south escaping the tundra before our own little piece of hell froze over. Well I have photos of some real birdbrains. It was -6* this morning when Babe decided it was time for me to get up. The lake is rapidly icing over and there on the fringes were 1000's of geeses (gooses?) with a few swans and ducks thrown in for good measure. All the black spots on the edge of the ice are fowl, birds too dumb to get into the air and on their way to Texas.

I'll switch places with them? Hmmmm..... that could make me a bird-brain yes indeedy.

Dang Mr. Flannery...that's cold and a lot of snow. Does Babe have a snow suit? Why am I not there? I have the perfect pair of boots to leave my foot prints riiiigggghhhhhttttt along the edge of the lake. And - I think it's just begging for a snow angel...

RNC - Babe is originally from Labrador. He's got built in snow shoes and a fur coat made for freezing water. He likes the snow alot. We got room for snow angels anywhere ya want and an open invitation for any red necks headin' north.

OOooooh, four calling birds three french hen and two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. This Ozarks farm chick is freezin' her tootsies off in the hills and hollers of the Ponderosa. Not a winter gal!

After a fowl start I hope you have a wonderfully blessed day! Heeeheeehe!

I’m a guy who has somehow fallen into the shabby world. A shabby chic world of shabotaged furniture and foo foo accessories. My stuff tends to be outside of the cottage without much chic, shabby or otherwise. My things are the hogs in this world of roses. Thus the title: Hogs and Roses. (Please look at my 1st post "Why Hogs and Roses?")
